The Digital Storywork Project for Revitalization of Indigenous Languages

The Digital Storywork Project for Revitalization of Indigenous Languages (DSP- RIL) supports the development of Indigenous community filmmaker-scholars as they highlight local language revitalization efforts, preserve stories and linguistic expertise of language speakers, and support language education within their communities. The DSP- RIL partners Indigenous community members and educators with students in MSU's internationally-recognized programs in film production. Each DSP-RIL workshop is designed to meet the needs/interests of specific communities and to adhere to 6 Rs (respect, responsibility, relevance, reciprocity, relationality, and representation) viewed as integral to Indigenous research and education. The model supports small production/research teams (e.g. 2 community filmmaker-scholars and 1 technical consultant) while ensuring community control and tribal sovereignty over research/filmmaking processes. Community members make all decisions regarding research questions (e.g. story/film topics), participants (e.g. elders, youth, etc.), data sources (e.g. interviews, b-roll footage such as archival photographs, etc.), data analysis (i.e. editing practices), and dissemination (e.g. community screenings, internet-based distribution, etc.). Additionally, the DSP-RIL model focuses on development of community mentors, who provide technical skills and cultural protocol for others.
